Three days later, a refreshing morning.
Inside the inn across from the clinic, Liu Erlong knocked on Qian Renjue's door again.
Knock knock—
Click!
The door opened, and as the gap widened, a golden-haired, purple-eyed boy appeared before her.
His golden hair was a little messy, and his purple eyes were drowsy.
"I'm sorry, I… I didn't know you were still sleeping."
Liu Erlong's eyes were red, and she hurriedly bowed to Qian Renjue.
The crisp sound gradually mixed with sobs.
"I'm very sorry! Can… can you give me some more money? Please!"
"I will definitely…"
"Here."
Liu Erlong hadn't finished speaking when a full money bag appeared before her.
Qian Renjue yawned, looking somewhat dazed.
He stretched his hand out in front of Liu Erlong, and frowned at her frozen expression:
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"Thank you, thank you."
Liu Erlong thanked him profusely, took the money bag, and quickly ran downstairs and across the street.
Clap!
Qian Renjue closed the door, went to the window, and pulled back the curtains to look at the clinic across the street.
…
Knock knock—
The seventh day in the dream.
The sound of knocking on the door echoed again in the inn.
This time, Liu Erlong was much calmer, but her eyes were still filled with tears.
She stared expectantly at Qian Renjue, who had been woken up.
Her hands trembled as she held them out flat.
As if begging.
Qian Renjue calmly placed the money bag in her palm, and gently squeezed her jade-like fingers to close her hand around the bag.
"Enough to cover it."
His voice was light and airy, yet full of warmth.
"Okay! Thank you."
Liu Erlong bowed her thanks and quickly left.
Apart from a slight fragrance, only the system's voice in Qian Renjue's mind could prove she had been there.
…
Half a month in the dream.
Liu Erlong knocked on the door again, her eyes slightly swollen.
Her black eyes had become somewhat numb.
"Here."
Qian Renjue opened the door and habitually handed over the money bag.
Liu Erlong shook her head, holding a not-so-delicate lunch box.
She was a little restrained.
"This… this is breakfast I made, do you want it?"
"It doesn't… it doesn't count as payment, I'll pay you back…"
"Okay, thank you."
Qian Renjue took the lunch box and handed the money bag over at the same time.
"Take it, so you don't have to come again tomorrow."
Hearing this.
Liu Erlong lowered her eyes and didn't take it, her teeth biting her red lips, tears glistening in her eyes.
She gently shook her head.
Qian Renjue was stunned, realizing that his words were unlucky, and his face showed apology.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."
"It's okay, I know you mean well…"
Liu Erlong raised her hand to wipe away her tears, she desperately hoped she wouldn't have to come for money tomorrow.
"I… I'll go first, thank you."
"Okay, goodbye."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
He closed the door, took the lunch box, turned around and sat down at the table.
As soon as he opened the lunch box, the aroma reminded him of the pink rabbit he had knocked out to see his mother.
Inside the box was a large portion of carrot fried rice.
Fortunately, eggs and chicken legs were added.
Qian Renjue picked up a spoon and began to enjoy it, but in his heart, he thought of Liu Erlong and her mother.
Inside the clinic.
"Erlong, you really sent that over, will he dislike it?"
Mother Liu leaned back on the sofa, accepting her daughter's feeding.
She softly instructed:
"Send my portion over in the future."
"Mom, it's okay, it makes no difference to him whether it's one portion or two."
"Silly girl! That's what you say, but you can't do it."
Liu Erlong pursed her red lips.
"If your portion is thrown away by him, wouldn't that be even more of a waste…"
"…"
Mother Liu was stunned, her eyes filled with loss.
"No matter what, we have to switch, you have to switch your portion too, you've lost weight."
"Add a chicken leg."
Mother Liu raised her hand and stroked Liu Erlong's face.
Tears welled up in her eyes again.
"Erlong, listen to Mom, let's not get treated, okay?"
"No, I finally have a chance…"
A chance to see him again.
Liu Erlong shook her head frantically, she didn't want to give up any hope.
Noon.
Liu Erlong, who was taking care of Mother Liu, was just about to buy food when she saw Qian Renjue step into the clinic.
Under Mother Liu's gaze.
Liu Erlong immediately got up to greet him.
"Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"Returning the lunch box to you."
Qian Renjue put his hand in front of Liu Erlong, and the lunch box appeared in his empty palm.
Liu Erlong was stunned, her face showing embarrassment.
Mother Liu's eyes were also full of apology.
"The taste is okay, put less carrots and add more rice next time."
Qian Renjue's gentle voice.
Made surprise appear in the mother and daughter's eyes, Liu Erlong twitched the corners of her mouth and chuckled.
She took the lunch box with both hands and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
"Also, this is the meal I brought for you and Auntie, it doesn't count as money."
A thermal food container appeared in Qian Renjue's hand.
He handed it to Liu Erlong.
"…"
Liu Erlong was stunned, looking at the boy in front of her, she seemed to be wrapped in warmth.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully conveying great love! (Target: Liu Erlong)]
…
[Congratulations to the host for successfully conveying great love for the first time! (Target: Liu Meier)]
[Reward obtained: Dragon Seeking Ruler!]
Hearing the voice, Qian Renjue was stunned and looked in the direction of Mother Liu.
Mother Liu was also looking at Qian Renjue.
This was the first time she had seen this gold master up close.
She seemed to have misunderstood him before.
But what dispelled her misunderstanding was not Qian Renjue's age, but his eyes.
And what he did.
Even she could feel some warmth from those eyes.
Liu Erlong took the food container.
Qian Renjue nodded towards Mother Liu, then turned and left.
"Mom… let's eat."
Liu Erlong came to the bedside and said softly, her mood seemed to be a little better.
Mother Liu's eyes were filled with worry.
Being too gentle and naive was not a good thing, especially with so much money on him…
"Erlong, will that child be in danger?"
"Probably not…"
Liu Erlong looked at the delicacies in the food container and felt even more ashamed.
Her sweet egg fried rice was really terrible!
"Mom, don't worry, I will try my best to protect him."
…
A month passed in the dream.
The sun was shining brightly.
Qian Renjue was buying candied haws as snacks on the bustling street.
It was only a few steps away from the clinic.
Qian Renjue keenly sensed that someone around him was harboring ill intentions.
That hand was reaching for the money bag on his waist.
Qian Renjue was waiting for him to touch it, but was suddenly disturbed by a crisp shout.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!"
Liu Erlong stood behind Qian Renjue at some point.
Her body carried scorching soul power, driving away the few guys who had surrounded him.
Qian Renjue calmly handed the candied haws to Liu Erlong.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, you need to be more careful, you're becoming a fat sheep…"
Liu Erlong took the candied haws.
She licked it, looking at Qian Renjue. He was indeed a child, with no sense of precaution.
If she hadn't been worried and followed him out, he would have been robbed.
To this.
Qian Renjue just smiled and didn't explain.
She was only a Great Soul Master after all.
Liu Erlong was stunned, the tongue she stuck out was frozen on the candied haws.
She stared blankly at Qian Renjue.
This month, it was the first time she had seen Qian Renjue's smiling face head-on.
It was very beautiful and gentle, making her feel protective.
Qian Renjue usually smiled when watching performances.
But he didn't smile at her.
He was just nice to her.
Liu Erlong completely didn't understand why this was. He was clearly very gentle.
But he was now like this.
Returning to an expressionless look.
"Do you want to bring one for Auntie?"
"I don't want it."
"Oh~"
…
Two months in the dream.
In a small alley not far from the clinic, there were few people.
Qian Renjue looked at the child who had led him here, and scanned the surrounding soul masters.
There was even a Soul Venerable.
It seemed that spending money like water for the past two months.
Had indeed attracted attention.
Qian Renjue was about to make a move, but Liu Erlong, who was worried about him going out to bring food.
This old hand, appeared again.
"Hey! If you have anything, you have to beat me first!"
I wish you all a happy life!
